The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 15: The Sunset at Haven Brook Beach
The Death Island Adventure 2Jack and Max sat on the sand at Haven Brook Beach, watching the sunset. The sun looked like a large red plate. Its golden light fell on the clear sea waves, making the water sparkle. The tips of the waves glistened as if they were gold.Breaking the silence, Jack said, “What a beautiful sight! Just looking at it brings peace to the heart.”Max, also gazing at the view, replied without moving his eyes, “Yeah, you’re right. It’s like a heavenly scene.”“Nature always looks heavenly. Yet here we are, living far from this heavenly beauty in the mechanical life of the city.”Max nodded in agreement, saying, “You’re right.”Last month, Jack’s family moved from Easton to Haven Brook, California. They had bought a house near Max’s place by the ocean. Before, the two friends would only meet up during big vacations. Now, since they lived nearby, they spent all day together, roaming around the beaches of Haven Brook. There wasn’t much academic pressure at the momen
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 16: Lost at Sea
The boat traveled far from Haven Brook port. The port was now out of sight. By this time, it was already noon. Everyone sat together on the deck and ate lunch. With the wind in their favor, Mr. Alexander hoisted the sails. The boat began to move forward at a fast pace.The morning and afternoon passed smoothly, but in the late afternoon, dark clouds started gathering in the sky. Even a small dark cloud there at sea could bring on a powerful storm. And storms were frequent in that area. Mr. Alexander glanced at the map. The boat was still about sixty nautical miles from City Island.Seeing the sky’s condition, he increased the boat’s speed. Meanwhile, the entire sky had now been covered in dark clouds. Soon after, a light rain began, along with a gust of wind. Mr. Alexander quickly lowered the sails. Within moments, the wind picked up intensity. The experienced sailor, Mr. Alexander, realized that reaching City Island in this weather was impossible.He quickly took out his binoculars t
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 17: The Island’s Harsh Reality
With great effort, Jack crawled over to Alissa. Her motionless body lay on the sand. Jack took her hand and checked her pulse. Alissa was alive, but she remained unconscious.He didn’t even have the strength to help her. Just sitting there became unbearable. In the end, unable to take it any longer, he lay down on the sand right beside her.Sandy and Max noticed that, not far from them on the shore, two people were lying there. They quickly made their way over. As they got closer, they recognized them. Jack and Alissa!Max said, “Hey, it’s Jack and Alissa!”Sandy responded, “Let’s see if they’re still alive.”“Yeah, let’s go.”As they got close, they saw Jack writhing in pain, and Alissa was still unconscious. Max helped Jack sit up. Alissa’s condition seemed worse. Her stomach was unnaturally bloated.It was obvious she swallowed quite a bit of seawater. Slowly, Sandy pressed down on her stomach. Seawater gushed from her mouth. Then he pressed his mouth over hers and gave artificial b
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 18: The Price of Survival
Mr. Alexander had a horrifying scene. He was many people there, but they weren’t normal people. Each one had many wounds on their bodies. Some even had brains exposed, and half of others’ bodies were missing, decayed, and rotten Thousands of insects were crawling around.They were picking up and eating the insects that were falling off their bodies. It was hard to hold back his vomit.From this alone, the experienced Mr. Alexander realized that they were all infected by the Vampire virus. They were all Vampires. There would be no way out if he came face-to-face with them.He quickly left the area. As soon as he returned, he told everyone about the Vampires. Naturally, they all became quite terrified upon hearing it.Mr. Alexander took a knife and cut some long, straight branches from the jungle. Then he trimmed them all to size, sharpening each tip to a point. In moments, they transformed into makeshift spears. He handed one spear to each person.Everyone quickly understood the purpos
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 19: Survival on the Island
Sandy stared at it, furrowing her brow. Seeing that, Mr. Alexander asked, “What happened? What do you see?”Sandy, without taking her eyes off, said, “I think I’ve spotted something.”“Where? What?”“Right there.” Sandy pointed ahead with her hand. “It might be a human body. McCarthy and Lewis...” She stopped mid-sentence.“Let’s go check it out.” Mr. Alexander’s voice was filled with excitement.They rushed toward the spot. Sandy guessed correctly. Two human bodies were lying there. As they got closer, they recognized both of them.McCarthy was groaning softly, calling out for water. Lewis was lying face down on the sand, unconscious. Mr. Alexander checked Lewis’s wrist for a pulse.“Is he alive?” Sandy asked.“I can’t tell.” While still holding Lewis’s hand, Mr. Alexander shook his head absentmindedly.Sandy looked around. She said, “It’s getting dark. It wouldn’t be safe to stay here now.”“Can you take Lewis? I’ll Sandy McCarthy.”“I can do it.”Mr. Anderson picked up Lewis and li
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 20: The Hidden Cave
“It was all over,” Mr. Alexander said in a panicked voice.“What happened?” Jack’s face was full of shock.“Several Vampires were coming this way. At least a hundred, for sure.”“What did we do now?” Jenny asked, her voice shaking with fear and anxiety. “Should we run outside?”Jack answered, “Running outside right then would have been the height of foolishness. They would have caught us for sure. And what about Louis and McCarthy? They were sick. They wouldn’t have been able to run. There were two things we could do. But both needed to be done right there, where we were.”Everyone’s eyes asked the same question: “What?”“First, we put out the fire and sat quietly in the dark. If we were lucky, the Vampires wouldn’t have been able to see us in the darkness. But there was a huge risk. If they spotted us, there would have been no hope left. It would have been a horrible, agonizing death. They would have ripped us apart while we were still alive. And on top of that, the sun was almost up
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 21: The Mysterious Doctor
With white hair on his head, wearing a white coat and black pants, an old man in his sixties stood there. “I haven’t found a person for the test in a long time,” he said with a smile.“Why have you left us hanging like this?” Jack asked.“I’ll lower you down. I will definitely lower you down. You are my guests. I needed you very much,” the old man replied.“We’re of use to you?” Jack asked, his voice filled with astonishment. “What are you going to do with us?”“I will, a lot of things. You will understand everything later,” he said.Then, the old man grabbed a wheel mounted on the wall and gave it a pull. Immediately, they started lowering down. But they were still bound at the hands and feet.“Who are you?” Jack was about to ask when the old man spoke first. “I’m Dr. Steve Watson. You must have been wondering that.”Jack was stunned. “How did you know?” he asked.Dr. Watson smiled. Stopping his laughter, he said, “This isn’t hard to understand. I could read a person’s mind just by l
The King of the Vampire Island Chapter 22: The Final Injection
Jack’s sleep was interrupted. He found himself in a locked room. He was lying on a bed, his hands and feet bound to the bed. He couldn’t get up. Turning to the side, he saw another bed next to him, where Sandy was lying, also bound.“Has your sleep ended?” said Dr. Watson, entering the room.Jack didn’t respond. Dr. Watson spoke again, “I have good news for you.”“What good news?”“Don’t get too excited. Be patient. You’ll see in a bit,” Dr. Watson said, then exited the room. A few moments later, he returned with two stretchers.By then, Sandy had woken up. Dr. Watson released the bindings from Jack and Sandy’s hands, but their feet remained tied. They sat up on the bed.When Jack turned to the side, he saw Max and Alissa lying on two other beds, deeply asleep.“They must be your friends?” A devilish grin spread across Dr. Watson’s face.“Yes,” Jack nodded slightly. “They’re our friends. But how did they end up here?”“They came the same way you did.”Jack realized that, just like him

"Luke, aren't your pants made of denim?" Jack suddenly asked."Ugh!" Luke swatted a mosquito away. Then he said, "Yeah, it's denim. Why, what's up?""Can your phone's battery be removed?""Yeah, it can.""That'll do.""What'll do?""Charging," Jack said mysteriously."Charging what?" Luke asked, confused."Ugh, just do something quickly!" Lily said impatiently, smacking her own cheek — actually swatting a mosquito. "These bloodsuckers are going to drain us dry."Ignoring Lily, Jack told Luke to take out his phone's battery. Luke fumbled in the dark and managed to remove it. "Now what?" he asked."Rub the battery's charging slot against your jeans," Jack instructed.Finally, Luke understood. As an engineering student, he felt embarrassed that such a simple idea hadn't crossed his mind. Without another word, he firmly rubbed the battery's charging slot against his pants. Though they couldn’t see in the dark, the rough scratching sound made it clear he was doing it.Jack said, "Once you'
Chapter 105: A Faint Hope in the Jungle
They had been walking for quite a while. Everyone was exhausted. Suddenly, Orin dropped onto a pine log, declaring that he couldn’t go any further. The others were just as worn out, so they all decided to rest right there. They had lunch with the water and the deer meat they had with them. After a short break, they set off again."How much longer do we have to keep walking?" Lily asked impatiently."Until we find the Yaku River," Jack replied indifferently."In other words, until we get rescued," Luke added."Yeah, exactly," Jack agreed."Do you think we’ll actually get rescued?" Orin asked, his voice filled with doubt."Hmm." Jack sighed. "Only time will tell.""And when exactly will that time come?" Lily asked impatiently.Suddenly, Jack stopped in his tracks, making everyone else pause in surprise. Lily was about to ask what was wrong, but Jack raised his hand, signaling her to be quiet. She fell silent immediately.Jack stood still, straining his ears to catch something. "Do you g
Chapter 104: Flickers in the Firelight
Lily stared at the fire. It burned brightly, its orange glow lighting up everything around it. Nocturnal animals filled the jungle with their calls, the constant noise almost deafening to Lily. She had been awake for quite a while now. Around midnight, she was supposed to wake Jack. She pulled her phone out of her pocket to check the time, but it was dead. No charge. Finally, she glanced at her wristwatch. In the dim light, she saw that it was already twelve. Just as she was about to wake Jack, she noticed him sitting on the hammock. That meant he had woken up on his own."When did you wake up?" Lily asked."Just a little while ago," Jack replied."Well, good thing you did. I was about to wake you.""Alright then, you get some sleep. I’ll keep watch."Lily wished him goodnight and lay down. Jack sat quietly on the hammock. After a while, he noticed the firewood was running low. The flames were almost out. He climbed down, added a few branches onto the glowing embers, and went back to
Chapter 103: Where’s Luke?
Orin is scared. She doesn’t know what to do now. Should she call out to them?No, that might startle the animals. That could make things even worse. When animals get startled, they become aggressive.What are those two?Tigers, bears, or leopards? Or something else?Orin hasn’t seen the animals yet. But from their growls, she can tell they’re fierce and large. The animals are slowly approaching the camp. Yes, there are two of them. Orin sees four eyes glowing in the darkness. One animal wouldn’t have four eyes. Nor would it have just one. Each animal has two eyes, so there must be two of them.The animals crept closer and closer until they reached Jack’s hammock. Orin’s heart pounded wildly in her chest. She was frozen with indecision. Then suddenly, an idea struck her.Luke was lying in the hammock closest to Orin. She poked him with a stick. He didn’t wake the first time, but on the second try, he stirred. As he sat up, he was about to make a sound, but Orin quickly put a finger to
Chapter 102: Right in Front of You
The jaguar was about fifteen feet away from them. A distance it could cover in a single leap. And it wouldn't take more than a few moments for it to make that jump.The jaguar leaped from its position. It was mid-air when something extraordinary happened. The smallest and most frightened among them stepped forward. Without a second thought, it lunged at the beast, which was at least twenty-five times its size. It knew it stood no chance, knew it would meet certain death, yet it leaped — only to save its friends. It could have run away and saved itself.Though it couldn't match the jaguar's strength, Don managed to hold it off for a few moments with sheer cunning. Don's sharp claws slashed across the jaguar's face. The sight of such a tiny dog daring to attack enraged the jaguar even more. With a shake of its head, it hurled Don to the ground. Even after hitting the ground, Don didn't give up. It charged again at the jaguar. But this time, Don couldn't hold it off. The jaguar struck th
Chapter 101: The Black Terror
Don stared at the large bush with a fearful gaze, barking furiously."Hey Don, what's wrong now?" Lily grabbed Don's collar and asked. Don glanced at Lily once, then turned back to the bush and started barking again."There's something over there," Jack said in a serious tone.Everyone immediately turned to look at him. "Something dangerous?" Orin's eyebrows furrowed."Yeah!" Jack nodded absentmindedly. "Something dangerous.""I think so too," Luke added. "There's definitely something scary over there."The two girls grew even more frightened after hearing Luke and Jack. "What do we do now?" Orin asked, her voice trembling.Without answering, Luke readied his bow and arrow. Jack picked up the wooden spear. The girls didn’t need to be told what to do. Watching Jack and Luke prepare was enough for them to understand. They each grabbed a spear and got ready.Don kept barking non-stop. No matter what they did, they couldn’t calm him down. At one point, Orin saw a shadow moving on the othe
Chapter 100: Don the Defender
The fastest snake in the world is the black mamba. It can cover nearly five meters per second. It is also one of the deadliest venomous snakes on Earth, said to rank just behind the king cobra. Interestingly, the black mamba isn’t black at all; its body is a dark grayish-olive color, though at birth, even that shade isn’t present. As it grows older, its color deepens. The name "black mamba" comes from the inky black color inside its mouth. When threatened, it raises its head high like a king cobra and hisses loudly — just like it was doing now. The black mamba doesn’t stop after one strike; it bites repeatedly, pumping venom into its enemy. Its venom is primarily neurotoxic, attacking the nervous system directly. Just a single drop is enough to cause a heart attack and kill a full-grown human in fifteen minutes.The snake was so close, it wouldn’t take a second to lunge at Luke. Death stood right before him, and he knew it. He could see no hope of escaping alive.The snake raised half
Chapter 99: Where’s Luke?
After searching for quite a while, Luke couldn't find anything except four bird eggs. Finally, feeling frustrated, he sat down on a tree stump. But then, he quickly realized that sitting still wouldn't do. He had been out for quite a while. If he took any longer, they would start to worry. So, sitting there was no use. It would be better to head back to the camp. Surely, Jack must have found something. But what if, just like him, Jack didn't find anything? The thought made Luke pause. Then what would they do with these four eggs? They would have to go hungry.A bunch of such thoughts kept swirling in Luke’s mind. At that moment, he noticed a bush rustling nearby. He knew that bushes don’t move on their own. Someone was disturbing it. So there must be something inside. But what was it? A dangerous, fierce animal? Luke didn’t want to think further. He quickly moved behind a tree for cover, keeping his ears alert for any sound, ready to hear the slightest noise. He kept his gaze fixed on
Chapter 98: Out of the Darkness
Lily opened her eyes and saw someone leaning towards her. At first, it was unclear, but slowly, the face became clearer. Seeing Jack, a spark of joy flashed in her eyes.Lily couldn’t speak. She didn’t have the strength to speak. Only a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Jack gave her water to drink. Lily lay on his lap. In this condition, there was no way Lily could climb the vine. So, he would have to figure out how to lift her. But how?Jack sank deep into thought. His mind had already started working to find a solution. Within moments, the path to a solution revealed itself to him. Now, they just needed an extra vine. One that was right above, near Luke.Luke and Orin were sitting above, holding their phone's flash at the mouth of the hole. They waited eagerly. At that moment, they heard Jack’s call. He needed another vine. Without delay, Luke threw one end of the vine into the hole. He held the other end himself.As soon as the vine was in hand, Jack began his work.
